CHEM 2

explains the properties of gas, solids, and liquids in terms of intermolecular forces of attraction and the kinetic energy of the individual particles.

fixed, regardless of size and the shape of the container. Almost incompressible

Fixed volume; assumes the shape of the occupied part of container. Slightly compressible but cannot be easily compressed.

assumes volume and shale of container; easy to compress

A force of attraction is any type of force that causes objects to come together, even if those objects are not close to or touching each other

are attractive forces between atoms in a molecule; strong

are attractive forces between molecules; weak

consists of positive ions and a sea of electrons, which is free to move about among the ions.

electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ion

a bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms.
